Chapter 352: Chapter 351: Preparing for Battle

Gael Evans was comforted, and Peter Brown turned to Olivia Turner and said, "Don’t worry, I’ve got all of this under control."

Ever since Olivia was taught some knowledge by Peter, she had been undergoing changes. Looking at Peter, she was still somewhat worried, "Peter, even though I am at the Qi Refining First Layer, it’s apparent that Simeon Turner and his crew are very powerful. You have to be careful."

Gael Evans also looked at Peter, "They are very strong!"

Peter smiled, "You all continue to live your lives, don’t worry, I can handle this situation perfectly."

Knowing that the whole family was worried, Peter appeared very relaxed.

Leaving the Smith Clan, a tenacious look flitted across his eyes. This East Sea Palace has gone too far in bullying people. Do they believe that I can’t handle them?

He moved quickly and arrived at the dam.

At a glance, the place had already changed. A row of neat temporary houses, mechanical equipment scattered everywhere. Even more, various kinds of machinery were unfolded. Aside from leveling the land, houses were being constructed. Looking further at the foot of the mountains, excavation was already underway.

Going past, Oscar Wilson had arrived to greet him.

He chuckled, "Peter, how do you find it? The progress is swift, isn’t it?"

"Impressive! Your speed is indeed quick!"

"Of course! The higher-ups placed a great emphasis on the excavation work here. It’s being done in two parts simultaneously, which will greatly shorten the time. The geological structure of this mountain is suitable for digging, therefore, our progress is extremely quick. A tunnel that’s not only two kilometers long, can be used in a maximum of three months. By then, the connection between the outside and here will be open."

Hearing completion would be so swift, Peter couldn’t help but admire that anything can be accomplished in Hua Nation once the higher-ups paid attention. If such a tunnel was to be dug somewhere else, it might take a year to dig it out.

"Also, Peter, the various machinery equipment you requested have been delivered. We are helping you build factories now. Those equipment are temporarily placed inside the temporary factories. The higher-ups stated that you might need to research at any time. Consequently, we have helped you install them."

Peter was delighted, "That’s great, let me take a look."

When they entered a large factory built with a steel frame structure, Peter was surprised, "This place is not bad, you guys are considerate!"

"Peter, we heard that your research will be leading the world. The higher-ups consider this to be very important. Workers have been temporarily employed to assist you, they are all soldiers. You can command them to do anything you need."

They have prepared soldiers?

Peter understood after a thought. It seems the upper heads want to learn something.

However, Peter knew that it would be very difficult for the higher-ups to learn our trades. If someone who isn’t a cultivator wants to learn, they probably wouldn’t be able to do it.

Never mind that, those things were just his thoughts, to teach a few disciples wouldn’t be a problem.

"Also, the electricity supply line was pulled from the province opposite us. It can completely supply this side now. Additionally, for the matter of communication, we have built a base station. There are no problems."

Everything had been prepared, it seems they were only waiting for Peter to start working!

"Thank you."

Concerning the work that Oscar Wilson and his crew did, Peter couldn’t find anything to be unsatisfied with. After expressing his thanks, Peter started to inspect the place.

Although he was upset about the East Sea Palace, Peter wasn’t an impulsive person. He was aware that the other party acted in such a way today just to provoke him. Once he went to them, he would certainly be ambushed halfway.

Peter even guessed they were waiting for his arrival on the road leading to Sky Release Village.

With such speculation, Peter wouldn’t be tricked. He purposely lingered around Oscar Wilson and his crew with the intention of letting Simeon Turner and his crew know he didn’t fall into their trap.

With so many soldiers, Peter believed that there were people planted by East Sea Palace amongst them.

When Peter returned to Smith Clan, it was already two hours later. After cooking and eating dinner, he sat there thinking about his next step to face the East Sea Palace.

Peter didn’t know how many experts East Sea Palace had. With the current situation, he knew if he didn’t deal with East Sea Palace accordingly, everyone would be knocking on his door.

Of course, Peter Brown knew well in his heart that one of the reasons Seth Wilson and his team were unwilling to assist him with the East Sea Palace was not only because of its formidable strength but also out of curiosity to see how capable he truly was.

Even after consuming the Stone Source Water, he would only reach the Qi Refining Sixth Layer. Peter didn’t plan on consuming the Stone Source Water now anyway.

He had his defenses taken care of. However, what Peter needed to improve right now was his offensive power.

Pulling a hand grenade from his ring, Peter was disappointed after inspecting it for a while. Although powerful against ordinary mortals, it posed very little threat to Cultivators above the Qi Refining Third Level, let alone the masters at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

Even when holding the rocket launcher, Peter shook his head again. It would probably be effective against anyone beneath the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, but when dealing with those at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, specifically with the stronger opponents he’d face from the East Sea Palace, it would be utterly useless.

This won’t work.

Upon realizing that these weapons were useless, Peter’s head began to ache somewhat.

What should he do?

After contemplating his various skills, Peter realized that although he had many inherited techniques, his cultivation wasn’t advanced enough to execute some of them. Worse yet, he didn’t even have the materials needed to create some devices.

He should start by focusing on the Qi-refining seventh-layer cultivators!

With no immediate solution in mind, all Peter could think was to defeat Simeon Turner and the others first.

Once he had adjusted his expectations, more ideas began popping into Peter’s mind.

The rocket launcher could still prove useful. It could be modulated to carry attack talismans, significantly enhancing its destructive power.

The more he pondered, the more plausible the idea seemed. Embedding attack talismans in the ammunition would cause it to explode upon contact with the enemy, damaging even the Qi-refining seventh-layer opponents.

There usually was a delay between invoking an attack talisman and its explosion, giving the enemy time to prepare. However, a surprise attack from a distance using the rocket launcher would catch them off guard. The talisman would have enough times to trigger during the projectile’s flight, delivering a lethal blow to an unprepared Cultivator.

Moreover, being a Qi Refining Fifth Level cultivator, he could incorporate a superimposed formation into the talisman, making it formidable even for higher-level opponents. It would certainly suffice to handle the forces sent by the East Sea Palace.

With this thought, Peter was ecstatic. His knowledge of machinery manufacturing was extensive, making the installation of attack talismans on rocket warheads seem like a feasible task.

Reflecting on his knowledge, Peter was struck by sudden clarity. His cultivation may be deficient, but he possesses knowledge that his opponents could not even begin to compare with.

The combined speed of talisman’s invocation and the weapon’s attack speed, would make the combined force extremely formidable.

Peter was aware that he wouldn’t win in a direct confrontation due to his insufficient cultivation. Relying on jade talismans for attack, however, also came with its downsides. The time it took to implement the talisman and his insufficient speed would give the opponent time to evade. The attack may not work, and they could even seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack on him.

Thus, under this circumstance, Peter had two things in mind. He needed to increase his speed so that the attack could be initiated faster. Secondly, he needed to augment the power of his talisman, so it could eliminate the opponent in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, Peter considered firearms for the initial attack. This resource was quite helpful. In addition, he planned on significantly increasing the hitting power of the jade talisman.

Peter was of the opinion that increasing the attack power of talismans would rely on two formations: the superimposed formation and break the truth ability.

There was definitely no way to create these formations inside a gun barrel, but they could be installed onto rocket warheads. As the warhead travels, the superimposed formation unfolds, greatly enhancing the talisman’s power. By designing a breaking truth talisman at the warhead’s tip, the opponent’s True Qi Layer could be shattered. With these steps combined, the enemies would undoubtedly be wiped out.

Thus, Peter had found a method to defeat his opponents, despite their higher cultivation levels. A smile spread across his face at this thought.

With such a weapon, he could take out the enemy’s experts one by one. No matter how many capable opponents they possess, would it really matter?

Sitting cross-legged, Peter pondered over his knowledge on talisman making, incorporating various previously lesser-used auxiliary methods into the design of this weapon.

Peter even considered the bulky size of the rocket launcher. After careful thought, he was reminded of some refining methods that could potentially reduce its size.

Indeed, by reducing the size of the rocket launcher, increasing the warhead’s power, and augmenting the talisman’s power, he could potentially kill advanced cultivators.

Having contemplated for a while, Peter couldn’t resist creating it. He sprang into action, heading towards the workshop once again.
